Daedalus version 7 not opening on Mac Mac OS X 10.15.7 after install

[Linards_Berzins]

hi After installing Daedalus V7 on my Mac OS X 10.15.7 (19H2026). i cannot open it to sync the blockchain. i get crash report each time. Reinstalled it, same result.

Further down the error log is this message:

Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: @executable_path/libcharset.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/Daedalus Mainnet.app/Contents/MacOS/libiconv.dylib
  Reason: Incompatible library version: libiconv.dylib requires version 2.0.0 or later, but libcharset.1.dylib provides version 1.0.0

I checked, my OS is compatible with V7

Is there a reason you wanna use Daedalus?

If not i would recommand to use a litewallet like Typhon or Eternl.

Security really and its a full node.

To be honest with you, if you care about security, you should get a hardware wallet (you probably should do anyway). And if you did that, it doesnt really matter if you are using Daedalus or a litewallet.

Thanks. But i would like to as well sort this issue i have with Daedalus on Mac.

Maybe @HeptaSean or @erikd got an idea.

That version of MacOS seems to be unsupported for over two years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Catalina

Quite possible that Daedalus (or rather the libiconv bundled in Daedalus) requires a library that simply isn’t there.

But I haven’t had a Mac since 2007 or so.

Edit: FWIW, https://daedaluswallet.io/en/download/ lists MacOS Big Sur which is Version 11 as minimal requirement:

Sorry, I know very little about MacOS.
